Well, I'm guilty of #5. Iterative loop variables that do something relatively mindless I name 'Gilligan'. Control variables I name 'Skipper', and clever things I name 'professor'. Of course I do comment what they do and how they do it, but, yeah, guilty as charged.
It does not belong to the state, it belongs to the citizenry of that state. The 'state' cannot do whatever it pleases, the 'state' must do what pleases the citizens.
Pretty much, yeah, that sums it up. Anyone can walk through the door, do a port scan, and list open ports, etc... Looks to me like they treat security as a commodity, not like the process that it is.
Those 'professional organizations' only kick out members that have committed violations so flagrant that those violations would bring ill repute on the organization. They do nothing to address ambulance chasers or pill pushers, for example.
Just face it, to them you are just a peon. One of the little people. Of little note.
"Lawyers, accountants, doctors and engineers in the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom could get such names if they submitted proof of their professions. So a law firm called Smith Jones could get "smithjones.law.pro.""
Elitist sacks of shit. There are a lot more 'professions' than "Lawyers, accountants, doctors and engineers." Those groups just got pissy because they had to share.com,.net, and.org with all us peons on the net. Fuck em.
"If it were possible, for example, to crash the fault in the Bahamas with a nuclear charge, the resultant super-tsunami would also cause more damage to the US than the original explosion(s) relocated from the Bahamas to the US east-coast would, wouldn't it?"
That works great in the movies, but movies use an alternate universe of physics and geology.
If I make a processor the size of a dinner plate I could probably put over a trillion gates on it. Doesn't mean that I 'broke' moors law, just means I make bigger processor dies.
How much energy does it take to grow, harvest, and turn the grass into pellets in order to eventually burn the pellets for energy? Is it a net loss or a very small gain?
Nobody likes to call the plumber, electrician, etc... Nobody likes to call in a tech for most of the same reasons, although I do try to keep my buttcrack from showing.
"Why the hell do you want to do a "press release", especially if you think some nut is going to cap you? If you're going to cooperate then why the hell are you going to shout it out to the world? "
So that when you do come up dead or missing, the greatest number of eye will fall on those that are most likely guilty. When you can't find a place to hide, you 'hide' in plain sight of the world. Attention to the target is the last thing that those that want to erase that target wants.
Exactly. When dealing with the 'brownshirts' you always comply, say "yes sir", "no sir", "have a nice day sir", etc...
After all, we've been given our 'common enemy', all those that would so much as voice an opinion that doesn't meet the 'party line' are decried as unpatriotic at best... traitorous at worst. Next comes the crackdown on dissidents.
The whole chain of events makes me wonder when we'll have our 'Reichstag fire'.

Heh, call it what you want, but untill you've walked to your first service call uphill both ways through a snowstorm during a heatwave while being tracked by a pack of hungry shrews you really don't know the service industry.;)

That's it?
I give home users a choice of services. I can pick it up, get the crap off of it (viruses, trojans, backdoors, malware, etc...), and bring it back for a flat 110 and tax (I'm rigged up to do several machines at once this way). Or if they want me to sit at their house working on it it's $55/hr and tax. Phone is $15 for the first five minutes, a dollar a minute after that (harder to collect, but eventually I'll have cc processing).
Some people you just have to 'fire'. Had one lady that kept complaining that her mouse didn't work right (entirely new user), it doesn't do what she wants (which I told her that it won't do what she wants, but exactly what she makes it do), and after a couple hours on site I thought she had the hang of it. So she calls back with the same complaint.... serveral times... sometimes as late as 9pm (which is rude) so I told her to never call me back. Eventually she's going to piss off all the techs in town.
I also have everyone sign a stock work order that lists the specific prolems they are having, and absolves me of any damage from testing, repair, transport, etc... I also list everything done to fix the problem(s), then have them sign off when the work is complete and demonstrated to be fixed. Makes life a whole lot easier. The three biggest letters a tech will ever know is CYA (Cover Your Ass for the newbs).

They finally ran out of ideas on how to work in time travel scenarios.
I'd love it, but there are obstacles. The biggest is NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard).
MaryAnn of course. Pretentious variables get Ginger.
Actually, the U.S. does. The 'tax' is on music cd-r's, not data cd-r's.

If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read.
Perhaps we need a Secretary of Grammar?
Homeworld was one of the few wonderfull games that sets a mood and keeps is. The cut scenes, and music make the game.

They only did half their job.
is how hard was it to completely fuck up the movie? Did it come naturally?
You missed the point, but let's address yours...

But would it be as efficient as the vacume cleaner that doesn't use suction? Hmmmm?

They'll find something. Your mattress still have that tag on it?

Are there that many nerds that know what to do with a hooker?
Sounds like he decided to get himself the equivelancy of an abortion (abdication of parental responsiblity).
